A garbage collecting truck comprises a pouring unit, which has an open-topped pouring opening disposed between the driver's cab and the collecting container of the truck and also comprises a lifting and tipping apparatus consisting of at least one lifting arm, which is pivoted to the pouring unit or to the chassis of the vehicle on a transverse axis and which at its free end carries a transverse arm, which is parallel to said transverse axis and is pivotally movable between a pick-up region disposed in front of the driver's cab and a pouring region disposed above and behind the driver's cab. The transverse arm is provided with a claw for entering a receiving pocket of a garbage can and for picking up the can. A carrier which is provided with a drive and which is displaceable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the garbage collecting truck is provided on the truck below the lifting arm thereof. The carrier carries at least two suction cups at its outer end and is movable between an outer position, in which the suction cups can attract laterally disposed garbage cans, and an inner position, in which the suction cups are disposed in front of the claws and the receiving pocket of a garbage container which is attracted by suction is disposed above said claw.
